Features & Capabilities

Lightbox is a simple Chrome extension that transforms your phone screen into a bright white surface, effectively turning it into a Lightbox alternative.

Its minimalistic approach makes it easy to use without distractions, perfect for creative professionals or hobbyists seeking an efficient tracing aid.

User Reviews

Lightbox is a simple, free, and ad-free app that effectively turns your device's screen into a lightbox for tracing, photography backlighting, and vision therapy. Users appreciate its straightforward approach and reliability. The main drawbacks are the lack of in-app brightness controls and absence of additional features like color adjustments, which some users expressed desire for. Despite this, the app meets its purpose well and is praised for its simplicity and effectiveness.

Pros

Simple and effective at turning a device screen into a lightbox for tracing or illumination.
No ads or unnecessary permissions, providing a clean and distraction-free experience.
Free to use as an alternative to physical lightboxes.
Helps with various activities like drawing, tracing, photography, and vision therapy.
App is straightforward, easy to use, and does exactly what it promises without extra clutter.

Cons

Lacks options to adjust brightness within the app; users must control screen brightness manually.
No features to change color or modes such as strobe or color palette to enhance functionality.
Some users expect more features or interactivity beyond a blank white screen and found it too simplistic.

Recent reviews

This is exactly what I wanted BUT I have difficulty finding the way to close the app as there is no exit button displayed. I ended up tapping everywhere on screen and eventually the app minimises and I can then close it.
